I give the show a thumbs up..and considering my family owns a funeral home and I work there...my endorsement of the show's believeability and authenticity are on the mark..you wouldn't believe the unsual situations we find ourselves in..and there are alot of homosexuals in this business..seems every other funeral director we hire is gay..myself.I'm much like Nate...i work out,lose my cool occassionally and always seem to have g/f problems..the writers for the show are definitely receiving some inside input from those in the biz...as you may have picked up from the series,the biz has taught me more about life and living,than death and dying
